Yes – foreigners can legally invest in and generate income from villas in Bali. Indonesia has a well-established legal framework that allows foreign investors to purchase villas using secure, long-term ownership structures that are widely used and internationally accepted.
The most common options are:
Leasehold ownership (Hak Sewa)
Foreigners can acquire villas under long-term leasehold agreements, typically 25–30 years, with guaranteed extension options.
Fully legal and transferable
Can be resold to another foreign buyer
Suitable for private and rental investors
Full operational control during the lease term
At UNU Villas, we offer 25 + 25 year leasehold terms, providing long-term security and planning certainty.
PT PMA (foreign-owned company)
Foreign investors may also purchase via a PT PMA, allowing the company to hold Right to Build (HGB) land rights.
Suitable for larger or commercial investors
Higher setup and compliance costs
Important note
Freehold ownership is reserved for Indonesian citizens and is not available to foreigners.
Conclusion
With the right legal structure, foreigners can confidently invest in Bali villas, benefit from attractive rental yields, and hold secure, long-term property rights.

Leasehold
Foreign investors typically buy leasehold property, securing the right to use the land for an initial period (often 25–30 years), with options to extend up to 70–80 years.
Leasehold is common, safe and structured through legally binding agreements.
Freehold (Hak Milik)
Only Indonesian citizens can hold freehold ownership.
Freehold for Investors
Through a PMA company, a foreign investor can hold land in Bali under an HGB title — similar to freehold ownership, but registered under the company instead of a private individual, with periodic renewals.

Yes, there are some taxes to consider.
These may include a purchase tax, yearly land tax, and income tax if you rent out the property.
The exact amount depends on how you buy and use the property (personal or rental).
Our legal team and trusted notary partner will assist you through the process and help ensure full compliance.
It’s also recommended to consult a local tax advisor for detailed guidance.
(Compared to leading global markets, Bali’s real estate tax rates are notably lower).
Bali has become a year-round destination thanks to the rising number of travelers from nearby countries like India, China, South Korea and Malaysia.
These regional markets are less dependent on fixed school holidays and often book spontaneous trips, including weekend getaways—helping fill villas and hotels even during Bali’s traditional “shoulder seasons.”
While July–September and December remain the peak months (with up to 85% hotel occupancy), the influx of short-haul travelers ensures steady demand throughout the year.
This shift makes Bali one of the most attractive markets worldwide for consistent rental income!
